FormscanBy Mark Nunan - THE SHORT GO was taken out of a 2m maiden here on Wednesday due to the lively ground and now lines up over 2m4f. A hood, which he wasn’t due to wear earlier in the week, is declared and he was keen in two starts at Naas last term. He was well supported on the second occasion but caught a tartar in the shape of subsequent dual Grade 1 winner The Nice Guy. If he settles effectively, he’ll take a lot of beating. Spread Boss Ted won a Kilbeggan bumper before chasing home No Risk No Fun, who won the maiden that the selection skipped, at Galway. He has to be respected given that Paul Townend rides him ahead of fellow Kilbeggan bumper winner Kottayam who won a 2m Flat maiden at Tramore last month. Dawn Rising, useful on the Flat for Ballydoyle, came back from two years off to be third on hurdling debut at Galway and drops back in trip.
